Trying to get .php to matchup with button script

Question

As it stands now when you click the submit button, to submit
the form info., I get the form error message.
I know my server account is linux so php is fine, there must
be something that is butting heads in the code. Please take a look
a tell me what you think might help
PHP FILE
<?php
$to_1 = "[email protected]";
//$form_subject = "Contact Form Submission:";
$name = $_POST['name_value'];
$email = $_POST['email_value'];
$subject = $_POST['subject_value'];
$message = $_POST['message_value'];
$msg = "Sender: $name\nE-Mail: $email\nMessage: $message";
$headers = "From:[email protected]\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To:[email protected]\n";
//print error_reporting(E_ALL);
//mail_status = mail($to_1,$subject,$msg,$headers);
$mail_status = mail($to_1,$subject,$msg,$headers);
if($mail_status){
echo "returnVal=success";
else{
echo "returnVal=error";

Answer 1

Okay, nice!
I changed that bit to just "email.php"),
and now I get the mesage "data sent successfully"
The question is WHERE??
It doesn't show up in the email addy specified in the .php
file.
